I use a RT AC 88 U with Merlin magic (14.2) . I have a bit of trouble connecting to either the 2 or 5 g radio from time to time . I'll try and explain, sometimes say I am using an old windows phone just to net surf and I will have trouble connecting to one or the other radio's . Changing the band will always fix it so I thought I would try to use the smart connect and turned it on , changed my mind then turned it off again . No major surgery there so I don't understand why now both ssids name changed to r24 , which I obviously used to connect to the 2g radio so I can't see the 5g , named r5g anymore on any device I use with the router . Will a normal reset bring it back ? If not where is the setting to rename it again ? I knew where it was with asus wrt but not with Merlin magic thanks in advance PS when I say I was having trouble connecting to either Radio from time to time I actually meant that while on one of the radio's I have trouble loading pages . It is either very slow or times out and sometimes it disconnects and needs to be reconnected again
